Abstract
Aim To synthesize methyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxoacetate from the ascidian Polycarpa aurata.Methods Methyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxoacetate was prepared by the reaction of Grignard reagent of bromoanisole and dimethyl oxalate.Results The yield of methyl 2-(4-methoxy phenyl)-2-oxoacetate was 71.1%.Title compounds were characterized by 1H NMR,IR,MS and elementary analysis.Conclusion The method of preparation of α-keto esters got better yield than other methods.
